So every once and a while there will be a movie that just kind of changes the way you look at things and it's one you'll always remember and think about. I think The Art of Racing In The Rain is one of those movies for me.
My mom read the book a long time ago and she kind of gave away a lot of details to the book... so it sort of made me not want to read it until I forgot a lot of the details she told me. And I was going to do that... but then the movie came out and I got the dvd for her birthday and I'm really happy that we own it now because it's a really special movie and I think they did a good job with it.
I will probably still read the book- there are a lot of other books I need to read too but I'll definitely add this on a list of things to read soon because... it was just a great movie. I don't really think you need to love dogs or have a dog to enjoy it because there's so much about life in the movie too that I think it's just a good one to watch. Of corse I love dogs and I do have a dog and I had a dog that's passed away so this is something that would interest me anyway but... it's just such a great story.
And if you don't know what it's about its the story of life told from the point of view of a very smart dog named Enzo. Enzo's owner is a race car driver named Denny. Through Enzo's eyes we see Denny fall in love and marry his wife Eve. We see Eve give birth to their daughter Zoe, and we see Eve get very sick with Cancer. I don't want to say too much about everything that happened but his in laws are very terrible to him and... seeing everything through Enzo's point of view is just really nice and it's sweet.
Overall I loved this movie. I thought the cast was really great and it made me cry a lot. It's a really sweet movie that I hope everyone can take the time to watch or read the book.
Bye!
